This talk was given by undergraduate James Martin during the 9th Annual Computer Science Undergraduate Research Symposium in 2015. James‘s research was supervised by Dr. Jasleen Kaur.
“Evaluating Net-score as a Measurement Platform for Broadband Access Performance”
Net-score is a new platform for measuring broadband access connections for Internet users. In this paper, we outline the architecture of the net-score measurement platform and discuss its advantages over current state-of-the-art. We also describe how we have evaluated net-score through a seven month long case study, describe the data we collected, and show how net-score reaches its goal of being a low-cost and low barrier to entry method of measuring general broadband performance.
James Martin is a 5-year B.S./M.S. student in his 8th semester from Washington, D.C. He will be working in IBM’s research lab in Austin, Texas as an Extreme Blue intern this summer before returning in the Fall to finish his Master’s Degree. Outside of the classroom, James gives tours for the university, is an avid cyclist, and loves vinyl records played over quality speakers. Hoping to work in the field of data science or system engineering, James is looking forward to sharpening his skills as a researcher and computer scientist before entering the workforce full time.
